A protective keypad cover helps prevent false activation, and the all-new, user-replaceable battery pack has a 10-year replacement interval reducing the overall ownership cost and making replacement a breeze.
The GlobalFIX™ V4 has two functional self-tests to monitor the beacon’s transmission, power and battery performance, and GPS acquisition.

Category I beacons are designed to be automatically deployed and activated in the event of a vessel sinking. A category I beacon may also be manually activated while in or out of its bracket.Category I beacons deploy and activate automatically if the vessel (and the bracket) sinks to a depth between 4.9 ft (1.5 m) and 13 feet (4 m). At this depth, the HydroFix™ hydrostatic release unit (HRU) is activated and the beacon is released from the bracket, allowing it to float to the surface.Continuity is then created across the water-activation contacts and the beacon is activated.
